A week of unfortunate events: Ay, naku!

Opinion 0
If the past week's tea leaves had a message, it was this: ay, naku. The economy served up a one-two punch of sluggish growth and runaway prices, then appeared to ask whether we wanted seconds. Monday brought third-quarter GDP growth of 2.1 percent, down from 2.4 percent in the previous quarter and below the 2.8 percent consensus forecast. That marked five consecutive quarters of slowing growth and the weakest performance since the pandemic. October inflation, meanwhile, averaged 7.8 percent. Some wanted the monetary authorities to wield a bigger stick through a jumbo rate hike. Tame prices without choking an already parched economy? Sige, good luck. With stocks around 5,600 and the peso near P64 to the dollar, even sharply cheaper gasoline felt less like salvation than a promo expiring next week.
